CHEYENNE - The draft Platte Valley Mule Deer Herd Initiative is now available for review on the Wyoming Game and Fish Department website.

The draft is the result of two series of workshops conducted in 2011 on future management of the Platte Valley mule deer herd. Hunters, landowners, outfitters and anyone else interested in this herd are encouraged to participate in the third workshop to discuss the plan.

The Platte Valley mule deer herd is one of the focus herds under the Wyoming Mule Deer Initiative. This herd has been selected for a collaborative public process special attention as part of the Game and Fish effort to address declining mule deer numbers throughout the state. Over the past years, the Platte Valley deer herd has been a source of concern for wildlife managers and the public alike.
